Radiation Oncologist

The ideal candidate will be board certified/board eligible and have completed a radiation oncology residency.

Our radiation oncology department has a history of being at the forefront of technology. We have nine years of IMRT experience. More so, we have IGRT experience with two TomoTherapy^® HI-ART II units, which we’ve used to treat over 1,000 patients. Within FY08, we will also acquire Varian Exd, with on-boarding imaging and gating. We use PET/CT simulation and fusion extensively, and will shortly be acquiring 4D simulation ability. We have a well-organized amifostine infusion program. Also, we have a Nucletron V2 HDR brachytherapy unit and have used HDR to treat 1,000 prostate, 500 lung and 160 breast patients. Other technologies we utilize include TheraSphere^®, CMS XiO and HI-ART treatment planning and stereotactic radiosurgery with TomoTherapy^®.

Currently, our staff consists of two radiation oncologists, three PhD physicists, two dosimetrists, one physician assistant, and 10 therapists. The department sees an average of 50 to 60 patients a day with high complexity level.

Our physicians have onsite offices and are assigned an advanced practice nurse to assist in patient management. You will have responsibilities for both inpatient and clinic patients. However, we do have a full-time hospitalist staff that works in conjunction with the radiation oncologists to manage patient outcomes.

We use an Electronic Health Records system at all of our hospitals. With state-of-the-art technologies, including onsite IMRT/PET/CT and TomoTherapy^®, you will have the tools you need to best serve our patient population.
